Running concurrently with Restaurant Week, the annual 20 at 20 off-Broadway discount promotion is back, offering theater lovers the opportunity to get $20 tickets only 20 minutes before curtain. Nearly two dozen shows are participating in the program, including Sam Shepard’s AGES OF THE MOON, starring Stephen Rea and Seán McGinley; Delia and Nora Ephron’s LOVE, LOSS, AND WHAT I WORE, with a rotating cast of women that currently features Katie Finneran, Michele Lee, Debra Monk, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Casey Wilson; John Douglas Thompson in Eugene O’Neill’s THE EMPEROR JONES; Jim Brochu as Zero Mostel in ZERO HOUR; Nina Arianda and Wes Bentley in David Ives’s VENUS IN FUR; and Layon Gray’s BLACK ANGELS OVER TUSKEGEE, in addition to FUERZA BRUTA, NAKED BOYS SINGING, SMUDGE, THE FANTASTICKS, CIRCUMCISE ME, and others. (Please note that some shows are closing January 31.) Lines could form early, so don’t necessarily expect to show up at 7:40 and get tickets, which are one per person and might be cash only at some theaters.
